... the classic method of calculating thrust is used by the micropropulsion community to determine nozzle performance from simulation data. This approach accounts for momentum flux and pressure imbalance at the nozzle exit, and it assumes that the viscous stress tensor's contribution to thrust is negligible. 1, record 1, English, - thrust%20calculation

One approach to estimating how long someone has to live is referred to as the momentum of change. If someone's condition is changing from week to week, it's a good indication that there are only weeks of life left. If there are changes from one day to another, there are likely days of life left. When changes happen from one hour to another, there are usually hours left. This is a general guideline. 1, record 2, English, - momentum%20of%20change

La vitesse des changements est un moyen d’estimer le temps qu’il reste à vivre à une personne mourante. Lorsque l’état d’un patient change de semaine en semaine, son espérance de vie n’est probablement que de quelques semaines. Si son état change de jour en jour, c’est qu’il n’en a probablement plus que pour quelques jours. Et lorsque les changements se produisent d’heure en heure, le patient n’en a habituellement plus que pour quelques heures. Ces indications sont très générales. 1, record 2, French, - vitesse%20des%20changements

In the high jump during the approach(run-up), the jumper leans back when the take-off foot hits the ground(on the eleventh step). He leans so much that the heel of the take-off foot hits the ground first. This action is known as the block. The overall effect of the block is to halt or slow down forward momentum and cause an upward movement of the body. 4, record 3, English, - block

Selon ce style, il s'agit de tirer profit d'un momentum haussier d'un titre. On recherche des companies qui, non seulement affichent une croissance de leurs bénéfices, mais également une augmentation du rythme de croissance supérieure aux anticipations du marché. Le gestionnaire veut également tirer profit du fait que le cours boursier d'un titre est en forte progression. Ce type de gestion est considéré particulièrement agressif, car au moindre ralentissement de la croissance, si minime soit-il, le titre est vendu. 2, record 5, French, - approche%20momentum

L'approche momentum consiste à miser sur les titres qui ont «le vent dans les voiles». L'idée fondamentale sur laquelle s'appuie cette approche, c'est que les titres qui se sont mieux comportés que les autres dans le passé, sont ceux qui ont le plus de chances de mieux se comporter que les autres dans l'avenir. L'approche momentum s'appuie sur des éléments quantitatifs. 1, record 5, French, - approche%20momentum
